Rachel & Joe – Skidby Mill Wedding

Skidby Millhouse waves of colour

Luxury jewel tones, pom pom’s and ribbons

I have a real variation of Brides & Grooms that come to me with regards to their wedding and overall styling. From couples finding it hard to visualise and needing some guidance, to couples knowing exactly what they want. Whichever you are, or if you’re somewhere in the middle, one thing that is needed is trust. Unlike the rest of your wedding planning, flowers are usually the one thing that you you don’t see before the big day, so the pressures on to make sure we get it exactly right – and deliver exactly whats expected, if not better.

When I first met Rachel I knew from the off that she had an ‘arty’ background. And yes she did! she was a graphic designer at the Hull University, us arty lot are usually perfectionists so this had to be just right with no exceptions.

The vision she had was just full of jaw dropping raw beauty, whites, champagne gold, & chevrons, and then a huge splash of rich, popping colour tones on the bridesmaid dresses and flowers.

Rachel’s bouquet contained Cerise pink Rose, purple Clematis orange spray rose, fuchsia freesia, orange Euphorbia, purple Iris, Solidago, Berried Eucalyptus, pink Stocks & wisps of Gypsophila. We finished the bouquet off with a ‘cuff’ that was from her mothers wedding dress, it was a perfect fit with buttons and a lovely frill. We added long ribbons casually knotted in different thicknesses, which trailed in the wind . This was definitely one of my favourite bouquets.

Bridesmaids bouquets were similar to the bridal bouquet, just slightly more petite in design. We used sprigs of flowers in all colours for the groom and his boys buttonholes, finished in navy to blend with their suits.

Rachel had designed all the stationary herself, which was very stylish and classy with a wave of colour, on a neutral background. The balance was just right.

Needless to say, I couldn’t wait to see what magic Katherine from Inspire images had done on the day, and I think you’ll agree – the images are all utterly gorgeous & all very Pinterest worthy!

Client Love…

Sarah did me by far the most beautiful flowers I could have ever wished for on my wedding day, I wish they could have lasted forever. Sarah created exactly what I wanted and much more. She was so professional with everything she did and even went the extra mile for me buy putting my cake together with the flowers in between each tier. Sarah did my Bouquets, button holes, cake flowers, headbands and other small details. The smell inside my wedding venue (and home in the morning) was incredible, I did not realise how beautiful they would all smell as well as looking so gorgeous! Thank you for the most beautiful wedding flowers ever!
